Question

I’m trying to find a way to use gettext and friends without depending on the official gettext module, which I’ve found to not be installed everywhere and sometimes yields different results depending on the OS and server configuration.

Answer 1

I ended up forked PHP-gettext (not the GNU GPL one) and modifying it to work as a transparent drop in. It creates a very simple one line fix for a missing gettext module.

require( "PHP-Gettext/Autoload.php" );
